    When I checked my 'match potential' I also saw my 'coupon code' - what is this to be used for?
    (Sorry if I've missed it somewhere else in another discussion!)

    You can enter it in your profile - it's not been announced yet.

    So how many relatives do I have to enter to get a Coupon Code?
    Has it been announced yet?

    It's unlikely there will be an announcement until the date of the official opening is fixed. At the moment all you need to do to get a coupon code is increase your Match Potential to 1 or more - and the easiest way to do this is to increase the number of relatives you've entered from the 1881 census (in your case adding another 5 or 6 households would probably do the trick).

    This post explains how to quickly identify where the gaps are.

    5 households later, my match potential is over 1!
    No new matches yet.

    Well done! So now you need to enter all your households, because the more you enter the more likely you are to match up with existing members.
    There's a discussion here on the number of new entries over at Lost Cousins and another here where you can tell us about your first match!
